Getting Started with WPF Badge

This tutorial will walk you through the creation of a sample application that contains a RadBadge control.

Adding Telerik Assemblies Using NuGet

To use RadBadge when working with NuGet packages, install the Telerik.Windows.Controls.for.Wpf.Xaml package. The package name may vary slightly based on the Telerik dlls set - Xaml or NoXaml

Read more about NuGet installation in the Installing UI for WPF from NuGet Package article.

With the 2025 Q1 release, the Telerik UI for WPF has a new licensing mechanism. You can learn more about it here.

Adding Assembly References Manually

If you are not using NuGet packages, you can add a reference to the following assemblies:

• Telerik.Licensing.Runtime
• Telerik.Windows.Controls

Defining the RadBadge

Defining RadBage in XAML

• C#

<telerik:RadButton Content="Notifications" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"> 
    <telerik:RadBadge.Badge> 
        <telerik:RadBadge BadgeType="Add"  /> 
    </telerik:RadBadge.Badge> 
</telerik:RadButton>
